Worth a Look.

The Commuter is one of those movies that I like to call "big, loud, and stupid", but also one that falls firmly in that "so bad, it's good" description. The premise is a good one, but star Liam Neeson could have used a better script and a smarter character. That said, there's no denying that he tries to make the most of every scene. The biggest question with this 4K release is if the A/V quality is all that distinguishable from what's offered on the standard Blu-ray. Even if you don't wind up buying The Commuter, I still think it's Worth a Look.

Surprisingly great movie!

It was a ton of fun from start to finish. It's a well-crafted heist movie with a smart comedic edge and proved to be a perfect vehicle for a great cast and director Steven Soderbergh to play around in. Universal has done a bang-up job with this release giving the film a fantastic video transfer that is a must see in 4K and a strong audio mix to match. Unfortunately, bonus features are a nonstarter. Just the same, I'm going to call this one highly recommended because folks really should see it and I can't imagine too many people actually not getting their money's worth out of a blind buy.

Lady Bird's a great little slice-of-life drama, rich in its authentic family portrait, with fantastic performances across the board. It's enjoys the same snapshot diary feel as The Florida Project, with young, budding actress-turned-filmmaker Greta Gerwig not only proving that she's learned a great deal from working with directors like Noah Baumbach, but also that she has a voice and style very much of her own. It's an impressive directorial debut, and Universal's UK Blu-ray release provides a solid rendition of the distinctive style and strong audio support with a couple of decent extras to round out a recommended package.

But their enemy is more ruthless than anyone could have imagined, putting their mission - and survival itself - in serious jeopardy. Kurt Russell (The Hateful Eight, Tombstone) leads an all-star cast, including Patrick Wilson (Insidious), Matthew Fox (Lost) and Richard Jenkins (The Visitor) in this gritty, action-packed thriller chronicling a terrifying rescue mission in the Old West.

'Bone Tomahawk' is one of those movies that you're either going to love or hate depending on your personal proclivities. I love a good western and I love a good horror movie and 'Bone Tomahawk' delivered both to me in a nicely wrapped little package featuring a great cast turning in some fine performances. RJL has put together a pretty great Blu-ray release of this film featuring a terrific A/V presentation along with some decent extra features. If you're a horror or westerns fan, consider this one recommended.

DRAGGED ACROSS CONCRETE follows two police detectives who find themselves suspended when a video of their strong-arm tactics is leaked to the media. With little money and no options, the embittered policemen descend into the criminal underworld and find more than they wanted waiting in the shadows.

That said, this provides real showcases for its cast, and despite its length, the film delivers regular and substantial jolts of energy. Technical merits are solid, and Dragged Across Concrete comes Recommended.

Widescreen; Soundtrack English. Three-disc set.

Braveheart is an expertly-executed historical war drama that brings a larger than life character to the screen with messages about loyalty and honor and mankind's quests to be unburdened by unjust leaders.
As a 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray, I love what Paramount has achieved this spring and can't wait to see as many 4K scans of catalog titles as they can put out. Blu-ray was (and is) a very good format, but 4K with HDR and hemispherical surround sound takes everything to the next level. More detail, more color, more contrast, more immersion. Braveheart has never looked, nor sounded this good. Highly Recommended.

Gladiator remains an exhilarating example of epic storytelling grounded in a very personal narrative. Touching on themes of revenge and loss and friendship and political corruption, the movie is as captivating to me as it was in May of 2000.
Though its Blu-ray release history proved controversial, I'm elated to say Gladiator has never looked or sounded better. This 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray boasts the film's defining home video presentation, thanks to a 4K scan of the original materials and Dolby Vision High Dynamic Range. It's not perfect, but it's one of the best catalog titles the format has ever seen. Plus, you get a roaring DTS:X sound mix that demands to be played as loud as you can manage.
If you're a 4K enthusiast with DTS:X capabilities AND a Gladiator fan, RUN-don't-walk to snag this one. Highly Recommended.

Marking a significant turning point in the filmmaking career of Steven Spielberg, Schindler's List is a harrowing, gut-wrenching motion picture experience unlike any other. With stunning cinematography by Janusz Kaminski, the film's story of survival and one man's heroic efforts to save lives features excellent performances from Liam Neeson, Ben Kingsley, and Ralph Fiennes, leaving audiences with several poignantly haunting images of humanity at its best and its worst. Universal Studios commemorates the production's 25th Anniversary on 4K Ultra HD with a beautiful Dolby Vision HDR presentation that offers a few appreciable improvements over its Blu-ray counterpart, but the Dolby Atmos soundtrack, on the other hand, feels artificial thanks to some unnecessary tampering of the original sound design. The same set of supplements as before are joined by a pair of new featurettes, making the overall UHD package worth a look for hardened fans.

Predictable Fun!

Long Shot is a funny, yet predictable romantic comedy with a few surprises up its sleeve. It doesn't change the genre, nor does it stray from the formula, but you'll have a lot of fun if you're a Seth Rogen fan. This Blu-ray release comes with a good 1080p HD image, and while the Dolby Atmos track was overkill, it still sounded great. Bonus features are all worth your time as well. Recommended!
